The Dollyrots — Whiplash Splash

Image result for dollyrots WHIPLASH SPLASH

Whiplash Splash is an assertive doubling down on the power pop hooks and punk rock flair issued by California duo The Dollyrots. Tracking much of the raw performances of this 6th studio effort themselves, the band once again enlists Producer John Fields to add polish to Kelly Ogden’s vocals and craft a radio-ready mix. The resulting 13 songs exude authenticity and shift between breakneck tempo changes (“Babbling Idiot”), extreme loud/soft dynamics (“Mermaid”) and bubblegummy melodic three-chord punk (“I Do”).

Recorded during singer/bassist Ogden’s pregnancy with her and guitarist Luis Cabezas’ second child, Whiplash Splash is The Dollyrots’ first studio LP since 2014’s Barefoot and Pregnant and follows two Top 20 peaks on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart. Standout tracks include guest vocals by Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo (“Just Because I’m Blonde”), Jaret Reddick of Bowling For Soup (“Other Trucker”), and a modernized buzzsaw-guitar cover of Katrina and the Waves’ “Walking On Sunshine”. As a whole, the record fits sonically between any modern pop-punk and guitar goddess rock & roll… with a hint of Ronnie Spector.

 

Mark Erelli — For A Song

Even today, it’s possible to write songs honestly and intelligently, arrange them with a sensitive ear and sing in a way that brings their stories to life. We know this, in part, because that’s what Mark Erelli does. In his quiet way, the Boston-based singer/songwriter has gathered and grown a following that values these qualities. Which is why it’s seemed too long to too many since Erelli’s last album of original material.  The long wait is over with the release of For A Song, a bouquet of new songs that reflect where this artist has arrived, personally and professionally. From introspective ballads to celebrations of love’s allure, these 12 songs stand-alone as eloquent statements and together as a meditation on life in all its dimensions.  Grab it now!

 

Phil Palombi — Detroit Lean

Grammy award winning bassist Phil Palombi is “one of the most sought after bass players in New York City”, according to Steely Dan tenor saxophonist and renowned jazz musician Walt Weiskopf.

Upon moving to New York City in 1997, he immediately began working full time performing at many of the city’s venues.

Carroll — As Far As Gardens Go

Moving water, a little open floor space, a reel to reel tape deck, and the old tour van packed with gear was all Carroll needed to lay down their second LP As Far As Gardens Go.

Chronicling the move from Minneapolis to Philadelphia the new songs were woven together everywhere but home. The album grew from the meals the band cooked together in other people’s kitchens, and the nights slept on hospitable floors in sleeping bags unrolled between the microphones after the console was shut down for the night.

Written and produced by the band, and mixed by Jon Low (The National, The War On Drugs, Sharon Van Etten) the sophomore full-length is out now via Shattered Orb and perfectly encapsulates the story of a band being hurtled through their lives, leaving things behind and charting a course forward.

 

David First — Same Animal, Different Cages Vol. 2: Solomonos for Analog Synthesizer LP

Image of *Subscription: DAVID FIRST "Same Animal Different Cages" Vols. 1-4

About Same Animal, Different Cages:  “Sometime in the late winter of 2014 I began experiencing a certain nagging artistic malaise. I felt like I was spending too much energy on live performances and not being as creatively vital as I’d like. With that in mind, I resolved to cut some cords in the New Year and get back to the aspects of the process I’d been missing – learning new things and creating and recording new work. I also decided to challenge myself, without running roughshod, to not get bogged down in the ‘revising, editing and perfecting’ of things – always a potential pitfall in this digital age – and make ‘honest’, unmediated tracks that would directly reflect what I’d discover. Choosing an instrument a month, through a regimen of daily practice, I would develop and record material that would result in an album by month’s end.” – David First

The first four volumes in the series will include explorations on acoustic guitar, analog modular synthesizer, harmonica, and sitar.  Available as a subscription from Fabrica Records.

 

Angela Perley & The Howlin’ Moons — Homemade Vision

APHMV-PressBooklet

Armed with electric guitars, swooning vocals, and songs that split the difference between rock & roll and dreamy psychedelia, Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons pack the biggest punch of their career with Homemade Vision.

Like the band’s debut, Hey Kid — an album whose kickoff track, “Athens,” earned Perley an International Songwriting Award in 2014 — Homemade Vision was recorded in the Howlin’ Moons’ hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Many of the songs were dreamt up somewhere along the highways and backroads that crisscross America, though, coaxed into life by a group of roots-rock road warriors who regularly play more than 100 shows a year. As a result, Homemade Vision is the sort of wide-ranging record that creates its own geography, building an imaginary place where the influences of David Gilmour, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, and Nebula all intersect.

It’s also the work of a genuine band. Chris Connor’s guitar playing — a flurry of fuzz, crunch, twang and bang — occupies just as large a role as Perley’s voice, while Billy Zehnal’s bass — coupled with cymbal crashes and snare hits from an arsenal of heavy-hitting drummers — glues the mix together. Inspired by love, heartbreak, and everything in between, Homemade Vision is a battle cry from a band that’s spent years fighting the good fight, carving out their own brand of atmospheric, aggressive Americana along the way.

 

Advance Base — In Bloomington

In Bloomington is a live concert recording from December 11, 2015, documenting a rare, full-band version of Owen Ashworth’s nostalgic, melancholic bedroom pop project, Advance Base.

Drawing heavily from Advance Base’s previous two albums A Shut-In’s Prayer (one of MOJO Magazine’s top 20 albums of 2012) &Nephew in the Wild (PopMatters’ #1 Indie Pop album of 2015), In Bloomington explodes the claustrophobia of Ashworth’s (mostly) solo, lo-fi, drum-machine-accompanied home recordings into something grand, human & joyous, captured in glorious high fidelity.

Eric Bachmann & Jon Rauhouse

Eric Bachmann and Jon Rauhouse are busy men. Bachmann (Crooked Fingers/Archers of Loaf/Neko Case) recently released a solo album on Merge Records and will be touring this spring, summer and fall to promote it. Jon Rauhouse (Neko Case/The Boxmasters/Iron and Wine and Ben Bridwell) also released an excellent new record earlier this year, The Jon Rauhouse Orchestra, Featuring Tommy Connell.  Both musicians also play in Neko Case’s band, who have been touring in support of her beautiful new 8 LP box set, TruckDriver, Gladiator, Mule.

Somehow during all of this traveling, performing and releasing of their own records, Jon and Eric found the time to collaborate; and on Friday, November 4th, 2016, they will release the beautiful results of this collaboration with their debut album. The recording will be available as a limited edition vinyl LP (only 1000 pressed), and as a digital download. Pre-order the vinyl here! Listen to a track from it here!
